Silvio Nardi Brunello di Montalcino 2016
What can we say? We were bowled over, as well. 2016 Brunello, of course, like some of the fine Barolos and Barbarescos we carry, is THE vintage to buy, and we are so proud to have a bit of this fine, complex, layered and richly spiced and balanced example from the talented Emilia Nardi. We only wish we had more!
When Silvio Nardi purchased the Casale del Bosco estate in 1950, Montalcino was a little, rural village, the powerful Consorzio del Vino Brunello wasn’t yet an idea, and Nardi was the first "foreigner" to invest in Montalcino (he was from Umbria). Today, Montalcino is a renowned wine community with many international investors, and the 36 vineyard plots of Tenute Silvio Nardi extend east and west of the town on three separate estates. Since 1990, Silvio Nardi’s youngest daughter, Emilia Nardi, has focused on vineyard development and produced wines of depth that are profound expressions of the land they come from.
